More recently though, I’ve jumped on the IOTA bandwagon. The cutting edge technology & team behind the project seem promising. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to find a convenient way to securely store IOTA for the long term and that’s where Frost comes in.

What is a cold wallet? A cold wallet is the most secure way of storing a cryptocurrency. The seed/private key generation is done offline and the wallet remains “cold” until funds are spent from it.

Finally! A simple way to generate encrypted IOTA seeds.

A lot of time went into keeping the UI clean and simple. As a result, users with little or no technical background can generate encrypted IOTA wallets in just a few seconds. You can try the full working wallet in any modern web browser by visiting the following URL: http://frostwallet.info

How secure is Frost?

At it’s core, Frost is a decentralized app. There is no website, server, or company powering the project. Your IOTA are not generated or stored on a server and your wallet cannot be “leaked” in a hack.

DO NOT REUSE COLD WALLETS. By definition a wallet is no longer “cold” once you’ve spent funds from it. ALWAYS generate a new cold wallet after this happens.

So, how about a “Hot” wallet?

I’m honestly hoping that Frost is just the start. If we can attract enough community adoption I would love to take things to the next level. What does this mean? Simply put: I will dedicate time and resources towards the development of a hot IOTA wallet. This wallet will be be able to send/receive funds, do the transaction POW, and attach to tangle.
